What a fantastic turn out for our first event for 2018 in St Annes Woods. A massive amount of litter was collected and the woodland is looking beautiful again.

Don’t they look fab (and so much easier to locate everyone litter picking in the woodland)!

A fantastic first evening Himalayan Balsam pull in Nightingale Valley. A huge thank you to Sylvia M, Neil G, June A, Cathy D, Andy C, Dave J, Julian T, Mary C. We ventured into an area where we hadn’t pulled before so some of it was pretty big!

Four volunteers pulled a massive amount of flowering Balsam along the Brislington Brook in St Annes Woods on the final Wild Wednesday evening session of 2018. Huge thank you to Anne F, Dave J, Julian T, Mary C. It would of been better to have more of us but still achieved so much!
